Boom! 💥
Another awesome conversation to bring you today with one of the brightest minds in People & Culture today... The one and only, Olya Yakzhina 🤘🏻 Head of People @ remote-first tech startup, Switchee. Olya is also Co-Founder of the People Stories slack community 🙌🏻
The main practical takeaway in this episode, Olya walks me through the headlines of Switchee's employee engagement framework. In the process we touched on so many interesting and insightful areas:
⚡Remote-first "dos and don'ts"
⚡The isolation that often comes with being the People Lead
⚡The People Ops balance: People Needs & Business Needs
⚡Bringing the SLT and wider business with you
⚡The difference between satisfaction and pure joy in people experience
⚡How to interpret engagement data and what you should take action on
I can't wait to have Olya back in the virtual PX Espresso studio, so much more knowledge and experience to tap from one of the best in our profession.
As always, I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope that you do too 🤘🏻🎙️
